By Ozumi Abdul
The Elders of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, in Rivers State, have reportedly met the Governor of the state, Siminalayi Fubara, as part of efforts to find lasting peace to the political crisis rocking the state.
The meeting is not unconnected with the move by some lawmakers in the State House of Assembly to impeach the governor, which led to the burning of the hallowed chambers on Sunday night.
